Singlet oxygen emission and peroxide generation at the surface of molybdenum–vanadium oxides evidenced that the catalytic activity of a MoO3:V2O5 mixed oxide at 70–175 °C was governed by the formation of peroxo groups in the interaction of molecular oxygen with adjacent Viv surface centers; the thermolysis of these groups yielded singlet oxygen capable of oxidizing selectively alcohols to aldehydes.

Acidic deep eutectic solvent was prepared from choline chloride and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid at room temperature. Reaction between aromatic aldehydes and arylacetylenes in this solvent gave chalcones whose in situ reaction with sodium arenesulfinates in water successfully provided γ-keto sulfones in good yields. This deep eutectic solvent could be easily recovered and reused for several runs.

For the first time, based on symmetry group–subgroup relation-ships, an approach is presented to create a clear classification of hybrid lead halides with low-dimensional vacancy-ordered perovskite-related crystal structures to facilitate the identification and prediction of hybrid lead-halide materials that have desired properties.

The synthesized polymers were investigated as hole transport layer (HTL) materials in perovskite solar cells. Polymer P2 as an HTL material provided improved short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage and, correspondingly, enhanced power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells compared to that of polymer P1.

The ionic liquid choline cinnamate was applied for the first time as a defect passivator in light-absorbing layers of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). It was found that bulk passivation with an addition of 0.5% ionic liquid notably enhances the photothermal stability of PSCs, while surface passivation leads to the opposite effect with the loss of device stability, due to the complex origin of the influence of choline cinnamate on the defect structure and microstructure of hybrid halide perovskites.

The effect of UV irradiation on sol–gel prepared ZnO films subjected to mild thermal annealing was investigated, with special attention to their structural and surface properties. Sol–gel processes, including a high-temperature annealing stage, have been adapted to the requirements of flexible electronics for in situ synthesis of semiconductor ZnO films on polymer substrates at lower temperatures due to UV irradiation. Application of UV radiation with emission peaks at 185 and 254 nm to films annealed at 180 °C made it possible to obtain ZnO films with Zn/O ratios of ca. 1, which cannot be achieved by heat treatment alone.

Asymmetric cycloaddition/intramolecular rearrangement domino reaction of 2-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)- malonates with 4-arylidene-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-ones can be efficiently carried out in sub- or supercritical carbon dioxide to afford (3R,3aS,9bR)-3-aryl-3a-benzamido-4-oxo-1,3a,4,9b-tetrahydrochromeno[4,3-b]pyrrole-2,2(3H)- dicarboxylates in high yields with up to 99% ee. Excellent stereoinduction is provided in this process by the use of bifunctional hybrid organocatalyst consisting of squaramide (thiourea) and chiral tertiary amine units.

The 57Fe Mössbauer isomer shift is not directly related to the oxidation state of iron, and therefore the evaluation of the oxidation state of iron from the isomer shift is problematic. The oxidation state affects the isomer shift only to the extent that it affects the Fe–X bond lengths. The isomer shift can be estimated based on the average Fe–X interatomic distance.
